Exciting?

How about writing a sort utility?  I know there are easy ways in python, 
but as an exercise, put the words from the second quoted line above in 
alpha order by examining each word.  Or how about enumerating the 
possible outcomes of throwing three dice?  Once that's done, leverage 
python's capabilities and see how short a program will give the same 
results.
